When I originally put metaphorical pen to metaphorical paper, I intended to talk about static types vs TDD. Then this background got a bit long, so I decided to just make it its own thing, with that topic to follow. You're right on the "considered good practice" aspect, which I didn't call out specifically because I generally try not to frame things as "Rust good, other language bad," hence the "Rust vs what Rust would be with function-level inference."
